Every day I experience life in the world of healthcare IT, supporting 3000 doctors, 18000 faculty, and 3 million patients. In this blog I record my experiences with infrastructure, applications, policies, management, and governance as well as muse on such topics such as reducing our carbon footprint, standardizing data in healthcare, and living life to its fullest.

Mobile Applications for Medical Education

At HMS, we encourage students to buy the device of their choice - iPhone/iPod/Ipad, Android, Blackberry, Kindle etc. We then support these devices with software licenses and controlled hosted applications.

Our Mycourses Learning Management System has a Mobile Applications tab. Under General Resources, we offer a mobile version of all course content via connected devices (WiFi, 3G etc.). We also offer a Kindle version for downloading course content to the device.

On our Mobile Resources page, we offer downloads of many popular applications. Most include native iPad support.
